[Pitch] How Enola Holmes 3 set the scene for a perfect fourth instalment (Moriarty, Watson, 1800s Afghanistan)
First off I wanna say I really enjoyed the third film. The vibe completely changed with the original score changing to a more serious one and bright colours and pastels changed to ocean blues and whites giving off a more mature vibe. I also appreciated the switch up from the foggy streets of London to the sandy beaches of Malta. However, I have to say I liked the second movies mystery more than the third ones because their was more time to try and figure out the answers myself and I hope to continue that momentum in a possible fourth film.
Setting
The story starts back in the London were Enolas new married life is rooted. Driven by her career, Enola then ventures across the ocean to the jagged peaks and steep valleys of Afghanistan in an expedition with Sherlock to investigate a case.
The Wrath of Adeline (Enola, and Sherlocks Mystery)
In a boat, the Holmes follow the route of the The Wrath of Adeline on their way to Afghanistan and find out it is a British ship transporting stolen gold from Afghanistan and secret military files that hold Watsons past. Moriarty used the name professor Adeline Wrath as the name of Sherlocks kidnapper showing Moriartys scheme was inspired by this specific ship. This ship was the one Tewkesburys Father sank. The Holmes could find information in the ship that uncovers the secrets Tewkesburys father was trying to hide. Enola and Sherlock will follow Moriartys hidden network and face old regiments who would kill to keep their secrets buried.
Tewkesbury, and Watsons mission
Tewkesbury and Watson are tasked with returning the stolen gold back to authorities in Afghanistan. Watson brings military experience and knowledge of the region, while Tewkesbury uses his political negotiation skills. Together they face traps and corrupt officials who want to steal the gold before it reaches the authorities.
The Message (1880s womens rights movement)
While in Afghanistan Enola joins a local underground network of local Afghan women who are fighting for the historic 1880s marriage and inheritance reforms passed by Emir. Eudorias feminist network is connected globally to the one in Afghanistan. Inspired by battle field legends like Malalai of Maiwand. This partnership delivers a message that mirrors real world struggles of Afghan women today.
The Main Villain
Moriarty returns and wants revenge after surviving her defeat in Malta. After creating another brilliant prison break, she wants to dismantle the Holmes family as payback for ruining her scheme in the third film. Moriarty would target Tewkesbury especially since his family ties to the gold she failed to keep, and would send agents to ransack the wrath of information to blackmail the British government and ruin Sherlocks reputation.
The Climax
Tewkesbury, and Watson, and Enola, and Sherlocks paths collide. The clues Enola and Sherlock found would revel a dangerous ambush against Tewkesbury and Watson to kill them and take the gold. Enola and Sherlock must stage a frantic rescue to save them.
